Does meal ingestion affect motion sickness severity, cardiac vagal tone, and gastric myoelectric activity in fasted subjects exposed to illusory self-motion?
Enhanced levels of parasympathetic activity, such as those induced by food intake, may alleviate motion sickness symptoms by suppressing dysrhythmic gastric activity.
Uijtdehaage et al. (1992) studied this question.
